If you can see this post, the migration of this site from Dreamhost to Linode is working. I’m not doing it all in one go — the wordpress installation should be hosted on linode while everything else remains on dreamhost, thanks to a varnish proxy server. I still need to do a bunch of tuning, but my hope is that this move will let me use the wordpress installation again. Over the last year or so it had become completely unusable on dreamhost, timing out every time I tried to log in or make a new post. I’m hoping that if this new system performs better, I’ll be able to move back to making quick posts here rather than on facebook.
